The company has been my go-to since years ago. The concept of this method has been used by my clients in my custom furniture workroom, and they really like it. Feel free to let me know how it goes.
There's no right or wrong way to start. When building from the top, I tend to skip those on the bottom so I can start at the top. The item is made up of arm and headrest covers for sofas and recliners.
As the hanging material from the visor, I used them in the car. I don't know what the Sleep Number bed is like. There's no reason for it to hold material on the sides unless it is just holding something like that.
As far as I can tell, they would work on carpet too. Furniture is the main use for them. To make sure they hold you will need to make sure they are tight against the base of the carpet.

They served as a way to secure a slipcover to my couch. I am amazed at how beautiful these are. This product was used to secure a slipcover on my loveseat, and it looks like it's all new! If we hadn't used them, the slipcover would have looked a little loose and saggy, and that's the last thing we wanted. This would definitely be a repeat order for me.
I had no problems with these. The headliner in my Dodge Grand Caravan was beginning to sag to a great extent, so I tried putting them in. You can make these look very attractive if you put effort into arranging them in a certain pattern. It has been a pleasure working with you. The screws fit well and none of them broke while I was screwing them in. In this case I was able to fix my headliner problem for less than a few dollars instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a new one.
Do you need a throw or something to cover up a piece of furniture if you have a pet? Whenever she sits on the couch with me, my little dog drools and drags hairs into the house. I don't want to have her hairs and dirt covering the loveseat. The loveseat gets smashed every time I put it on the floor. I've tried everything to cover it, even these special "pet covers" for sofas i would like to get rid of the love seats, but they move around and don't stay in place, and i am tired of always moving the covers around. I didn't know I wanted Twisty pins until I got them! Your covers will stay in place very well with the help of these straps! The shifted paths aren't perfect and never occur at the same time. But you will find that you will have much less to worry about when you move. Perhaps you could use it for other purposes as well!.
So bad was the sagging of the headliner that it blocked the entire rear window. We used Scotch 77 adhesive but it did not work, leaving dark blotches in the headliner material. You can see them on the back window near the top corners of the car (and a few other places). There is more than enough pins in the package since the pins work great and 50 of them come in the package. A before and after picture of one of the pins is below so you can see the transformation. According to the [slightly blurred] before and after pictures, the pin is about 7/16" in the before picture, but it is just under 1/4" in the after picture. As you can see in the image above, the pins are sharp enough to easily go through the headliner, but they need a little work to penetrate and grab the material that you want to secure the headliner The roof is actually two layers thick, and the headliner is a third layer. In the factory there is a thin sponge foam layer to which the headliner is glued, and on top of that layer is a layer of a stronger material, (like a layer of thin It is where pins go through to secure the headliner to the roof of the car. I am not sure what it is, but it is what you put pins through to secure the headliner to the roof. A little fiddling is required to get the pins to penetrate that, but once they are, all you have to do is twist them all the way in until they are embedded, It only took me under 15 minutes to fix my sagging headliner with the pins, so I am very pleased with the results. I hope this helps prevent someone from getting the same type of pins specifically labeled as headliner fasteners and ridiculously priced for just eight or twelve.
For holding my bed skirt in place, I bought these pins. When the pin is put under pressure, the twisty part keeps it from popping out Sometimes it was hard for me to get the pin through the bed skirt and into the box spring below it. It makes sense when you think about the fact that I had to poke a small hole in the box spring to fit the mattress I twisted them in very nice and they hold my bed skirt very well once I went through the process of turning them in at first. My only problem with the pins was that two broke when I tried to put them in. However, two out of about 25 pins used isn't bad at all On top of the cream fabric of my bed skirt, the top of the pins are mostly clear/slightly opaque, so you won't even notice them unless you look for them while sitting on the floor. To keep fabric from moving, I recommend placing three or more pins in a triangle shape around the corner when using pins to hold corners in place. (See picture attached) The purchase turned out to be a good one, and I will definitely buy from.
My purpose for getting these pins was to pin loose fabric to a couch cover and they worked great. With the new cover, the sofa looks much more form-fitting.
Use more if you can. The concept is such a good one, I was thrilled to find them. It should be noted however that these are not heavy-duty. My husband's recliner throw was shifting around all day so I chose to use these pins to keep it from shifting. However, the spirals straightened out into straight pins and one of the heads came off since the pins were not strong enough to withstand the constant pulling. It looks like you need to use a whole row of them to accomplish your goal. It wasn't enough to just do 3 or 4 with them for what I was aiming for. It turns out 50 is not too many per package, as I had All of them have me wondering what I will do with them. It has been my pleasure to report that nothing has been damaged when they pull out the upholstery. It took me longer to use the second time.
One of the most irritating was the headliner fabric distorting from the backing. Despite trying every adhesive spray and glue I could find, carpet tape, etc. , nothing stuck. It is hot and humid here where I live, so the adhesives probably did not hold as long as they should. I then stumbled across a suggestion to use pins like this and decided it would be a good idea to try. I'm so happy! The liner really is not all that attractive, but it is a thousand times better than being unable to see because it Pins I bought from these guys were faster, cheaper, easier, and more effective than any other junk I purchased. I plan to keep them around in case the upholstery droops unexpectedly in the future!.
